Open Topic Postdoc Positions
Recruiting the best minds is a central aspect of the funding and support provided by TU Dresden’s Institutional Strategy. Following on from the successful “Open Topic Tenure Track Professorships“ programme, TU Dresden has created "Open Topic Postdoc Positions", which offer scientists at an advanced postdoc level the opportunity to push ahead with an independent research project regardless of their professional orientation.
About 470 applications from 72 countries were received for the advertised positions, with almost a third of them submitted by women. 17 junior researchers were sselected who took up their posts at TU Dresden between November 2017 and April 2018:
